kuhla Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 source - http://anandtech.com/show/8953/raspberry-pi-2-available-armv7-and-windows-10 EDIT: Table didn't format. Bleh. Wow. Huge upgrade for the same price. All the more reason to find something to build with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 A bunch of guys at work get together on weekends and program stuff on these. Just for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I know many engineers/hobbyist who do that.....its a fairly common field for them to enjoy. I'm not that type of person who would enjoy it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaphax Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 They're nifty pieces of tech, but I don't have a specific use for them. If I could find a specific use for these I would go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 They'd be great for home automation, or anything you want to automate that they haven't made a product for already. My old coworker used it to turn his house lights on and off through an app he made.He used the the board to control a set of relays to superswitches he got at Costco. The raspberry pi acted as an email server so his android app just sent an email to the raspberry pi and monitored his gmail for the right commands. It was crude but it worked haha. He was able to control his window AC, and lamps and lights with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 You can do anything an embedded controller would be able to do, but you can program it in python instead of c. And it costs under $50, which is pretty cheap for the io it offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Rasberry Pi Zero - https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/ Wiki Comparison Table - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#Specifications Announced a little bit ago. $5. Very cool how it's as powerful as the old model but much smaller and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 ...and now we have a Pi 3.

kuhla Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 ....and now we have a Pi 4. Same price ($35 for the base model). source - https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-4-on-sale-now-from-35/ A lot of nice changes. The USB+NIC bottleneck has finally been removed so I'm expecting a lot more NAS builds, DIY routers, firewalls, etc. 4Kp60 video output too for those that want it.
